SPELLBOUND... I listened in amazement to this incredibly honest insight into the private life of the man behind the voice I have known for so many years. In "Love Comes When You Least Expect It", veteran radio personality Dick Summer lays himself open, exposed and totally unprotected, while telling the story of one of the most intimate and challenging times of his life. It tells the details of a milestone, marking a most dramatic change in his life and a new direction, from which he cannot go back. Dick Summer's mesmerizing voice paints dramatic mental images that would be impossible to capture with a camera. The pictures he paints and emotions he reveals are clear. His thousands of lifelong fans won't want to miss this rare and most unusually personal audio CD.

I have both of Dick Summer's new CDs and I recommend them. It was wonderful to hear, again, this master story-teller weave the old magic.
Those of us who, as teens, listened to Dick's late night show back in the 60s, and who mused about "what dreams may come" will recognize, with a smile, the velvet voice and the hypnotic style that is still as seductive as it ever was.

The subject matter is more contemporary than I had hoped, but that may prove to be more appealing to many for whom listening to Summer is a new experience.

As for me, it was just a treat to be, once again, in the company of an old friend, now that the brave new world is upon us.

While playing this CD, I was immediately transported back to those late nights in high school, when we all listened to Dick Summer's quiet, powerful tales on our radios. The production values and storytelling skills are unmatched... his impeccable timing and word choice--along with those mesmerizing cadences, verbal filigrees and poetic turns of phrase--provide honeyed balm for yearning souls.

He weaves an audio spell as well, if not better, than anyone who's ever purred into a microphone. As a pilot, I was delighted by the way he's continued, and extended, the literary tradition of authors like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Richard Bach. This is honorable work, giving audiences a feel for the sky's loneliness/joy/drama... plus it's such a rare pleasure to *listen to* a story which was specifically DESIGNED to be listened to - and created by a consummate practitioner of the art.
